Frequently Asked Questions
What is Order-X?
Order-X is a hybrid format for orders based on the EU’s norm EN 16931 and developed by a joint Franco-German group to facilitate a seamless process from order to invoicing. It is structured according to the United Nations UN / CEFACT Supply Chain Reference Data Model (SCRDM). You can choose between three profiles: Basic, Comfort, and Extended.
The Order-X format mirrors the electronic invoice format of Factur-X and uses the same data set. Both formats are hybrid, i.e., they consist of an XML file embedded in a PDF/A-3. The result is a single, secure, human- and machine-readable option.
How do I deliver Order-X purchase orders to a chosen vendor?
To deliver your Order-X purchase orders to your chosen vendor, you need an efficient EDI (Electronic Data Interchange). As the Order-X format is based on a universal standard (UN/CEFACT), many companies will soon be requested to use it. Compleo Hybrid implements automated workflow solutions including transforming purchase orders into the Order-X format and facilitating its exchange with your business partners.
Can I use Order-X even if my business operates outside the EU?
You can benefit from Order-X even if your business operates outside the European Union. Expand your trade options to include purchasing from vendors within the EU who request purchase orders be in the Order-X format. What’s more, your Order-X purchase order can integrate with other exchange standards and international platforms.
